Explore our 3-axis and 5-axis CNC milling services for making high-quality prototypes and complete production runs. Our sophisticated milling centers provide you with the range and precision required to make highly accurate and quality parts that conform to even the most stringent requirements. CNC milling can keep tight tolerances for key features in part design, such as diameter, position, profile, and flatness. Read on to explore the many reasons why we offer the most cost-effective CNC milling processes.
What is CNC Milling?
CNC milling is a type of computer numerical control machining operation that uses a multi-point rotary cutting tool to remove materials by advancing the cutter into a workpiece. Milling is achieved by rotating the tool in a varying direction across the surface of the workpiece, slowly removing excess material until the desired shape and size are achieved.
CNC milling is suitable for producing high-precision, high-tolerance parts in prototype, one-off, and low volume manufacturing runs. At Premium Parts, our milled parts are typically made to tolerances within +0.001 inches to +0.005 inches, allowing our clients to explore and exploit the versatility of the milling process for making slots, chamfers, threads, pockets, and a host of other features embedded into the most intricate designs. Our custom CNC milling service is even more capable and diverse, allowing for tolerances of up to +0.0005 inches for parts that demand perfection for optimal functionality.
What Can We Do for You?
With the increasing affordability of CNC milling services, we invite you to explore how we utilize this technology to fabricate a diverse range of precision components and deliver a wide variety of complex prototypes and parts. We currently offer an on-demand CNC milling service with 3-axis and 5-axis capabilities, suitable for use across a wide range of industrial applications. Explore our 3 and 5-axis CNC milling solutions below.
• 3-axis and 3+2 axis CNC milling
Our 3-axis and 3+2-axis CNC milling solutions are well-suited to the needs of everyday machining operations. They are used to make high-precision parts with relatively simple geometries. 3-axis CNC milling solutions are pocket-friendly and affordable, but they have lower tolerance levels.
• 5-axis CNC milling
5-axis CNC milling operations are the pinnacle of sophistication in CNC milling. This setup consists of a multi-rotary tool that can move across x, y, z, a, and b axes, allowing for improved reach and maneuverability that makes all the difference when making complex parts. 5-axis CNC milling is employed for designs with intricate shapes, orientations, and tight tolerance demands. This machine orientation reduces the number of machine setups, enhancing productivity and leading to faster lead times.
At Premium Parts, we utilize our 3- and 5-axis CNC milling services to support a wide range of industries and product categories. Some of our capabilities generally include, but are not limited to:
- Aerospace and defense
- Tools and dies
- Medical, dental, prosthetic, and orthopedic solutions
- Automotive and transportation
- Food processing
